I'm kind of going to half-ass this thread and just give basic information due to the fact that it's been awhile since I've played and that the Wikipedia article on it has pretty much been cut and all the gameplay information is no longer there. However if you feel like contributing then by all means do and I'll add it to the OP.
[b]History[/b]
Mythos was originally an MMORPG designed to test Flagship Studio's networking technology but evolved into a full game. Only lasting from 2007-mid 2008 Mythos only made it to closed beta before Flagship Studios declared that due to financial issues Mythos would be put on a hiatus. Eventually Flagship Studios went out of business and the development of Mythos ceased along with the support for their other MMO, Hellgate: London. For awhile no news was released about Mythos and people began to just assume that Mythos died.
Now the intellectual property rights of both Hellgate: London and Mythos were given to the Korean distributor of Starcraft: HanbitSoft. HanbitSoft will be releasing Mythos in South Korea and Redbana will develop the North American version. It appears that [b]closed beta signups are open at [url]http://www.mythos.com[/url][/b] though I'm not sure when the beta begins or if it already has. I'm looking further into that. Also if the new developer keeps the same mindset as Flagship Studios then Mythos will still be free to play with an item mall that will not have items that give players an unfair advantage.
[u][b]Gameplay[/b][/u]
Mythos's gameplay is very similar to Diablo in terms of dungeons, inventory systems, and movement/combat aspects.
[b]Classes[/b]
It's been awhile since I played and I've only played two trees in one class so bear with me.
In Mythos there are only three classes, but each class has three unique trees which in my opinion makes 9 classes. The classes are:
[b][i]Bloodletter[/i]:[/b] The Bloodletter is pretty much a warrior, it's attacks and skills focus on melee combat. (I never played much of Bloodletter so I don't remember anything about it's skill trees)

[b][i]Pyromancer[/i]:[/b] The Pyromancer is the spell caster class. The three skill trees are Cinderblade which focuses on buffing melee weapons with spells to deal damage, Flamecaster which focuses on casting a variety of ranged spells, and Coalsmasher which allows you to summon minions to fight for you.

[b]Cinderblade:[/b]

[b][i]Gadgeteer[/i]:[/b] The Gadgeteer is basically the archer. It uses guns to attack long range. I've only lightly touched on this class so I only have minimum knowledge of one skill tree which is Tinkerer which allows you to create various gadgets to use to your advantage.
[b]Low level Tinkerer:[/b]

[b]Races[/b]
Human: Adaptable to various climates and gaming environments.
Satyr: Good at rapid moves, with excellent agility.
Gremlin: A kind-hearted race with excellent magic power.
Cyclops: With incredibly superb power. Players are able to enjoy various interesting adventures.
[b]The world[/b]
In early beta the Mythos world consisted of small areas and a map. The map allowed you transportation between areas. You were also able to purchase maps to gain access to different areas and dungeons. After awhile that idea was scrapped and the world became an open area with zones. The open area allowed players to basically just wander, do quests, and find dungeons without needing maps to gain access.
Other than that I left out a few things but you get the gist of it.
Whoa, this looks awesome.
and i thought this was dead
Play Dungeon Runners while you wait.
looks Exactly like Diablo 2.
I love diablo 2!
Lookin badass
[QUOTE=noxxle;16912955]Play Dungeon Runners while you wait.[/QUOTE]
If I wanted to play bad MMOs I'd just play FlyFF or Last Chaos.
Reminds me of champions of norrath.
So wait let me get a confirmation on this: Free to play as in you buy the game at stores and wee! Free to play no monthly fees WAHOO
Or free to play as in download and don't pay even better motherfucker lol k
Anyways this game seems like a great way to past time till D3 comes out.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;16930975]well it was made by the guys who helped make it i believe
I BELIEVE[/QUOTE]
Yes, it was originally developed by Flagship Studios which consisted of the original developers of Diablo and some Blizzard North Executives.
[QUOTE=lum1naire;16931664]Or free to play as in download and don't pay even better motherfucker lol k[/QUOTE]
This one. However there is a planned item mall as seen in just about every other free to play MMO.

Honestly, I've played in some Free MMO's with the item malls that give an advantage and I still don't give a shit. I just work hard for my stuff and I'm happy. I don't care if faggots are willing to dish out $100 a day for coolio shit LuLZ. I'll enjoy the game like I want it.
I'm glad to hear its F2P and downloadable.. But can you get us info on the beta? Or I may as well look into it by myself to I suppose.
[highlight]Edit[/highlight] - I've heard of this game before but its been so long I can't seem to jog my memory.. Does this work in a similiar fashion as Diablo with certain rooms or servers? Or is it instanced kinda of like GW or something?
Or possibly even like an MMO and go anywhere with the exception of dungeons being instanced? That'd be nice to know thanks.
Oh if possible, we should make some sort of FP guild/alliance/clan whatever :3:
I remember this from back in like 06/07 brotha.
I played the open beta and it was ok. I don't like how every single thing is instanced, it makes the game feel dull. Though I did have fun with the dungeons and skills. Hopefully they improve upon this somehow otherwise the game gets boring quickly.
I know I've played other hanbitsoft games and I'm gonna go look those up. They weren't very good iirc.
[editline]05:37PM[/editline]
But I hope they bring Hellgate: London back :q:
Thought this had to do with Call of Cthulhu. I am sad now.
Ahhh. I remember them now. They're the ones who pop out a bunch of MMORPG's and all are pretty much clones of each other.
[QUOTE=Specter;16944934]Ahhh. I remember them now. They're the ones who pop out a bunch of MMORPG's and all are pretty much clones of each other.[/QUOTE]
HanbitSoft is developing the Korean version, not the North American one.
Also as far as I know Hellgate: London is only going to be re-released in Korea (maybe other parts of Asia, I'm not positive). Though I'm not certain of this, I'm looking into it at the moment.
The wiki page for this game has hardly any info on it at all >.>
I still have the old beta :sigh:
Sorry but HG:L sucked.
I hope the beta comes back, and I'm still in it. :P
This was amazing for the time I played it. Flint lock pistols are awesome.
Diablo rip off.
And whats up with the class names ? They are just desperately trying to be different with the names.

Maybe you should, I don't know, read the OP? The game was originally developed by those who made Diablo. Of course there's similarities.

Hahaha. Rip off. Oh you silly you. As the poster underneath you said it's made by the same people who made diablo.
Will it disable all your sound again?
[QUOTE=TotemlyCool;16913435]Reminds me of champions of norrath.[/QUOTE]
